Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0345868A2] In a coin dispensing apparatus comprising a hopper (1) for holding a supply of coins in bulk and a coin transporting rotary disc (3) rotatably disposed within the hopper for delivering coin from the hopper, a carrier (8) having a plurality of coin transporting pins (5) and/or agitating members (35) spaced apart in the circumferential direction is rotatably supported at the rear side of the rotary disc (3) to rotate at an angle to the rotary disc such as to extend the coin transporting pins and/or agitating members into the hopper from the surface of the rotary disc in a minimum amount at a position of a delivery portion and in a maximum amount at a coin picking up position, whereby a coin dispensing efficiency is remarkably improved without miscounting and jamming of coin at the delivery portion.
